How it Works!

Nautical Boat Club® is America’s favorite Boating Country Club® – where membership gives you and your family ALL of the fun and lifelong memories of playing out on the water, for MUCH LESS money, and NONE of the stress or hassle of boat ownership!

Our boat club provides you with private access to a diverse fleet of sleek, new boats, fit for any occasion – a laid-back fishing trip, an afternoon of skiing and water sports, or a celebration aboard a party pontoon.

A day at the lake for our members is as easy as 1, 2, 3:

1.

Make your reservation online or by phone.

2.

Arrive at the marina at your reserved time to find the boat you’ve chosen clean, fueled and loaded with the water toys you requested.

3.

Hop in, turn the key and GO!

Once you’re done for the day, just gas up, return the boat and head home.

Your monthly dues cover all expenses except fuel, and include reciprocal boating privileges at all of our boat club locations nationwide.

According to the National Marine Manufacturers Association [NMMA], U.S. boat owners use their boats an average of 15 times annually, which means the average boat owner is paying $500-$1,000 per use!

Additionally, the NMMA reports that the average boater wants something new every 2-5 years – which means the boat you buy today probably won’t meet your needs five years from now.
